The Pennsylvania state Supreme Court ruled that mail-in ballots without a correct handwritten date on their envelopes cannot be counted, a critical decision in the closely contested Senate race.
Republicans argued that the date on mail-in ballots is crucial for upholding ballot security, while Democrats claimed that it does not determine voter eligibility or ballot legitimacy.
The Democratic-majority court's ruling reflects ongoing tensions over ballot counting procedures in a pivotal Senate election, as both parties prepare for a statewide recount.
As of Monday, McCormick was leading Casey by about 17,000 votes, with the upcoming recount looming under Pennsylvania law due to the close margin between candidates.
